ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR i886.

The Trustees of the AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY present this their Eighteenth Annual Report to the Patrons, Fel- lows and Members of the Museum. The Treasurer's account shows the receipts of the year to have been $43,960.26, of which the City contributed $15,039.I9. The receipts include $2,426. I6 given by Mrs. Robert L. Stuart towards the Bird Group Collection and the purchase of a rare and unique specimen of crystallized gold; also for completing the binding of the library given to the Museum by Mr. R. L. Stuart; and $7,500 paid by the Trustees to make up the deficiency in maintaining the Museum. The expenditures were $31,584.08 for maintenance, and $II,109.03 for iinprovements and additions to the collections. The purchases include the Scott Collection of North American birds, a valuable collection of gold specimens and other rare minerals, 30 mounted specimens of American mammals, I32 specimens of American birds, I5 specimens of monkeys, also a number of geological specimens, all supplementing and making our collections more complete. There have been added to our Library by purchase goo volumes; this includes the library of Prof. R. P. Whitfield, which has filled a great vacancy. The additions to our collections by donation have been very gratifying. From the,, Hon. H. J. Jewett we have received his valuable library of travels, and from the Department of Public Parks, through Dr. Wm. A. Conklin, many important and valuable specimens have been received in the flesh and prepared at the Museum by our taxidermist. A collection of 130 European bird skins has been received from Edward Hargitt, Esq., of London. Also, many other important donations, which will be found in detail in the list of accessions. 8 In former reports attention has been drawn to the need of more exhibition space. During the year a very large amount of material has been accumulated, including a collection of the building stones of America, which remain packed in cases; also 3,ooo birds and 150 mammal skins. These specimens, together with other large and interesting collections, cannot be exhibited for want of space. The Educational Department has made most gratifying progress under Prof. A. S. Bickmore. The following bill, granting aid to extend the Museum, has become a law, and is herewith given in full.

AN ACT To provide for enlarging the building situated on Central Park in the City of New York arnd occupied by the American Museum of Natural History, for the purpose of furnishing proper facili- ties for giving increased exhibition and public instruction. The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: SECTION i. The Department of Public Parks in the City of New York, with the concurrence of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, is hereby authorized to erect and equip an addition to the building situated on that part of Central Park, formerly known as Manhattan Square, and now in the possession and occupation of the American Museum of Natural History, in accordance with a contract made in pursuance of chapter 139 of the laws of eighteen hundred and seventy-six. Said addition shall include suitable space for the exhibition of the specimens of the Museum, now stored for want of room to display them to the public, and shall also include a lecture hall, which can be used for the purpose of giving to the teachers of the common schools, and the normal schools of the State, and to artisans, mechanics and other citizens, the instruction provided for them in chapter 428 of the laws of eighteen hundred and eighty-six. The Trustees of said Museum shall select an architect to prepare, under their direction, the plans, and to superintend, under the direction of the Commissioners of Parks, the construction of said addition. Said plans, when completed and approved by said Trustees, shall be submitted to the Commis- sioners of said department for their approval, and may include any alteration of the present building made necessary by the enlargement, and such improvements and repairs to it as the Commissioners of said department and the Trustees of said Museum may agree are proper and necessary. The Commis- sioners of said department shall provide for the compensation of the' architect 9 out of the fund hereby provided for the erection of said addition. Said equip- ment shall include all the cases and fittings required for the preparation, exhibition and preservation of the specimens, books and property of the Museum, also furniture and fixed apparatus of the lecture hall, and the other rooms of this building. § 2. For the purpose of providing means for carrying into effect thepro- visions of this act, it shall be the duty of the Comptroller, upon being there- unto authorized by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, to issue and sell, but not at less than their par value, bonds or stock of the Mayor, Alder- men and Commonalty of the City of New York in the manner now provided by law payable from taxation, but not exceeding in the aggregate the sum of four hundred thousand dollars, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding three per centum per annum, and redeemable within a period of time not exceeding thirty years from the date of their issue. § 3. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. § 4. This act shall take effect immediately. The annual growth and proper development of your institution necessarily involves yearly increasing expenditures. The arrangement and rearrangement continually necessary in a large and growing scientific department not only occupies much time and care, but demands the employment of gentlemen of notable skill and acquirements. Our only assured annual income at present is from the City appropriation of $15,000 and the interest of the $55,000 invested funds. It would appear to be very desirable to place the Museum on such a permanent basis of maintenance that the annual contribu- tions of the Trustees and members could be appropriated exclu- sively to the purchase of objects of science. Valuable collections, which the Museum needs, are continually being offered us for sale, but we are obliged to decline their purchase for want of funds. The great museums of Europe are chiefly sustained by public fund, through the force of an enlightened public sentiment both as to their educational and economic value. The value of what you have already accumulated in your halls rises to a large figure commercially, but it is a difficult task to estimate the money value of what belongs to science and scientific institutions. To their value must be added their ameliorating 10 power, their educational force, and the scope they afford the higher faculties of man to apprehend the wonderful phenomena of nature, and to master and utilize her great forces. To the multitude shut up in stone walls, to whom are afforded an acquaintance with the beauty of natural objects, or to study them in their usual aspects and conditions, the advantage of your Museum is, that it affords opportunity; and out of a great number who look only vaguely and experience only the healthful excite- ment of a natural curiosity, one here and there may be found endowed with special aptitudes and tastes. Perhaps some child of genius, whose susceptibilities and faculties, once aroused and quickened, will repay in the field of discovery and science, through the force of some new law in its manifold applications or relations, all your expenditure a hundred fold. Commercial values and purely scientific values meet often on common ground; but their essential life belongs to opposite poles. To some it appears necessary to vindicate the employment of large amounts of public money in such an institution as that which you control, from the charge of extravagance; their ideas of value appear to be limited to that which is exchange- able in the current coin of the market; but the highest results of character and life offer something which cannot be weighed in the balances of the merchant, be he ever so wise in his generation. The work accomplished and the general improvements in the collections may be seen by the following extracts from the reports of the Curators: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION AND ETHNOLOGY. [Under the charge of Prof. A. S BICKMOKRE.] In order to render to this department a properly stable character, so that carefully considered plans could be made in advance for the more economic and effective preparation of the photographic illustrations, which are necessary in this new mode of visual instruction, the last Legislature passed a bill providing for the maintenance of the lectures to teachers in the Museum, and for continuing aid to the Normal Schools of the State for a period of two years, commencing October i, I886. In accordance with the provisions of this law, the Museum entered into a contract with Hon. A. S. Draper, the State Superintendent of 11 Public Instruction. The Museum and the public owe much of the gratifying development of this popular department to the appreciative co6peration of Judge Draper, from whose annual report, transmitted to the Legislature, January 5, I887, is the following important extract: " The system is new, but is undoubtedly destined to have an important part in future educational work. The course of lectures in progress is eminently attractive and practical, .and teachers and those preparing to teach are thus given the advantages of foreign travel and opportunities for scientific research, which they could obtain in no other way. " The need of a much larger lecture hall at the Museum is sorely felt. If it is provided, the information now being supplied to teachers can be extended to mechanics, artisans, and others, as is contemplated by the second section of the law under which we are proceeding. Much of it would be of peculiar interest to this class of our city population. Such lectures as the four upon 'Food Fishes,' and those upon 'Coal and Petroleum,' 'Iron and Lead,' ' Tea and Coffee,' 'Indian Corn and Tobacco,' 'Wheat and Rice,' 'Sugar and Salt,' and many others, would prove of great value to them. The City of New York ought to provide accommoda- tions for carrying on this work, and very likely will." The rapidly increasing interest in this illustrative method of promoting public education is strikingly manifested in the following statement of the number of teachers who have attended the first lecture in the Spring Course during the past four years January 12, 1r884 .121 February I4, 1885 .140 February 20, i886 .286 January 8, I887. 504 The present lecture hall is designed to seat 275. On January 8, the opening of the present course, 390 teachers were crowded into the little hall-of whom nearly fifty were ladies who were obliged to stand after having taught all the week-and Ii4 went away, unable to get inside the doors. During the past summer, at the suggestion of Judge Draper, Prof. Bickmore traveled at his own expense in Norway to the North Cape and throughout the sublimest scenery of Switzerland, to gather illustrations and data for his lectures on those countries. GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. [Under the charge of Prof. R. P. WHITFIELD.] PAL&EONTOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS.-IA this collection much has been done during the past year, in providing labels; a large number of explanatory labels having been added. The vertebrate remains of the Holmes Collection, from the Phosphate beds of 12 South Carolina, have been determined and permanently labeled, as far as they have been described; and the invertebrate Miocene collection has also been permanently labeled with species labels. Early in the year we received a large collection of European fossils from Prof. Karl Zittel, of the Univetsity of Munich, Bavaria, in exchange for one of the collections of the Hall duplicates. These have been placed on exhibition, and all the more prominent forms provided with permanent labels. In order to provide room for this collection in the cases, many changes were necessary, owing to their crowded condition, and caused the expenditure of much time. Several other additions were made to this collection during the year, the most prominent of which has been placed in case B, sections 9, io and ii, in the Chazy, Birdseye and Black River formations. This was a donation, on condition of early publication, from Prof. H. M. Seely, President E. Brainerd and other members of the faculty of *Middlebury Col- Iege, Middlebury, Vermont, and forms the basis of Bulletin No. 8, recently published. The collection is a very valuable one, as it comprises mostly new forms now. become types of their species. MINERALOGICAL COLLECTION. The catalogue of this collection has been completed as far as the collection affords material, and might now be printed for use from the manuscript book if desirable, after some slight revision. A number corresponding to the species number in Dana's System ofMineralogy has been placed on each specimen, so that by reference to that number in the catalogue or in the Manual all particulars can be learned. Many valuable additions have been made to this collection during the year, among which is an extremely interesting group of native golds and silvers, obtained partly by purchase by the Museum authorities, and partly by donation from a most liberal patroness. Many other additions, both by exchange and donation, are appended in the lists under their several heads. A great necessity of this collection is want of space, and this necessity becomes the more pressing year -by year, as additions are made. The collection now contains about 400 species, or about half the known number; but as additions are made it becomes necessary to remove the less conspicuous forms to drawers in the attic rooms, where they are entirely inaccessible to students or the public, unless under the direct personal attendance of one of the Curators. In the present building there is no way in which this can be remedied except by placing drawers beneath the present cases, in which the overflow of the table cases can be placed, and where they will be somewhat more easily examined than in the attic. ECONOMIC COLLECTION-Bui/ding Stones. The Museum has lately received a duplicate series of the building and ornamental stones of the United States, collected and studied under the 13 direction of the Tenth Census Commission. This collection contains I,053 nicely dressed, four-inch cubes of rock, accompanied each by a microscopical section for study. It has also over 200 larger blocks of American and foreign building stones and mar- bles, many of them twelve-inch cubes. For the proper exhibition of the Census Commission series it will require certainly not less than 50 linear feet of shelf room for each hundred blocks, or, with maps, charts and other explanatory matter, not less than 6oo linear feet of shelf.' While for the larger blocks there would be required not less than 150 linear feet, equal to 750 feet in all. At the present time there is not available a single foot of case room in this department in which this collection can be exhibited. The Census Commission series is packed in twenty-four large rough boxes, stored on the lower hall stairway, and the other blocks are strewn along the stairways through two and a half stories of the building, exposed to dirt and injury, and are rapidly deterior- ating in quality and beauty. If this entire collection were properly cared for and protected, it would make a very interesting, instruc- tive and attractive collection, particularly for the artisan class of our city. CONCHOLOGICAL COLLECTION.-The Wolfe Collection of Shells. Since the last annual report this collection has been very greatly improved in condition, and at the present time more than three-fourths of that part of it which is on exhibition is neatly arranged systematically, and provided with proper specific labels, so that now it begins to present a very attractive appearance. This collection is now more constantly used for the identification of species by visitors to the Museum than any other collection in the building, from the fact that the shells fare not only attractive, but more easily obtainable in New York than any other class of natural objects. Consequently it is desirable that this collection should be as full and complete as possible. Still, for want of space,'there will be a large amount of the collection necessarily stored in the drawers in the attic, and inaccessible to the public; unless, as in the case of the minerals, drawers can be placed beneath the present cases, accessible to students and amateurs wishing to identify species, under the supervision of a Curator. BULLETIN No. 8, containing two Paleontological articles, the principal one based upon some new Birdseye limestone fossils from Fort Cassin, Vt., was prepared in this department during the autumn, and published just at the close of the year. The collection upon which it is based was a donation, for that purpose, from parties in Vermont, and forms a very valuable addition to the Palaeontological Collection at a point where it was particularly deficient. This Bulletin ought properly to constitute the end of Vol. I of the Museum publications, and, with the others preced-' ing it, be indexed, so that it might be bound into a single vol- ume-the next one issued beginning Vol. II. 14 DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALS AND BIRDS. [Under the charge of Mr. J. A. ALLEN.] MAMMALS.-The collection of monkeys, numbering 120 species, represented by i66 specimens, has been carefully identified, catalogued, and labeled, thus completing the work of cataloguing and labeling the collection of mammals. There have been added to the mounted collection 15 species of monkeys and 30 species of North American mammals. Other additions, not yet mounted, include an Indian rhinoceros, a yak, several kangaroos, a capybara, two monkeys, and various smaller species, many of them received in the flesh from the Central Park Menagerie. A large collection of Arizona mammals, most of them presented by Dr. E. A. Mearns, has been added to the Study Collection. About thirty species are still wanting to complete the mounted collection of North American mammals. These, it is hoped, may be added at the earliest opportunity. The great need of this department is a study collection of North American mammals, in which each species shall be represented by a good series of both skins and skulls, collected at many different localities, in order to show their phases of geographical variation, as well as the differences depending upon sex and age. Many of the smaller species, as the mice, shrews, moles and bats, should also be represented by specimens preserved in alcohol. Such a collection is absolutely necessary for purposes of study and scientific investigation, and it is of the utmost im- portance that measures be taken at once to secure the requisite material. At present we have not more than a dozen or twenty F skins, and about the same number of skulls-hardly enough to be considered as even a nucleus for such a collection. BIRDs.-About one-half of the mounted collection of North American birds has been catalogued and relabeled, in accordance with the new system of nomenclature recently adopted by the American Ornithologists' Union. About one-half of the mounted European birds have also been provided with exhibition labels. These together number about 2,200 specimens, or about two- fifths of the exhibition collection. The Study Collection has been rearranged, and about 6oo specimens catalogued and labeled. This collection now numbers about 4,000 skins of North American birds, and about 2,000 skins of foreign birds. The Study Collection of North American birds requires the addition of io,ooo specimens to bring it up to the proper standard of completeness. The mounted collection of North American birds still requires the addition of about ninety species to render-it complete. The additions during the past year number about 200 mounted birds and 3,250 skins, nearly all North American. The additions 15 to the nests and eggs number about 6oo specimens, and include many of great rarity and value. Four cases, combined with cabinets for storage, have been placed in the Hall of Birds, to which the collection of nests and eggs has been transferred, and in which a selected series of nests and eggs has been placed on exhibition. The removal of the collection to its new quarters, and the selection of specimens for exhibition, has been kindly made by Mr. W. B. Bailey, who has also, during the year, contributed many valuable specimens to this department. Early in the year a department of Taxidermy was established, with Mr. Jenness Richardson, formerly of the U. S. National Museum, as taxidermist. Many specimens received since in the flesh have either been mounted or properly prepared for mounting; nearly the whole collection of bats has been remounted, and repairs have been made on many specimens already in the collection. In May, Mr. Richardson began to collect materials for a series of groups illustrative of the nesting habits of the birds found in the vicinity of New York City. Each group will consist of a pair of birds and their nest and eggs or young, with their natural sur- roundings of characteristic vegetation and other accessories. About twenty of these groups are well under way, and will be ready for exhibition early in May. A skilled modeler of plants, Mrs. Mogridge, formerly at the South Kensington Museum, of London, has been employed to prepare the vegetation required. The results thus far attained are highly satisfactory, leaving little to be desired in point of effectiveness and truthfulness to nature. Under the new law for the -protection of song and native birds recently enacted by the State of New York, the Museum has been called upon to issue permits in the interest of collectors of birds for scientific purposes; a few only have been granted, and these only to well-known ornithologists. In September a Bulletin (Bulletin No. 7) was issued for this department, consisting of a colored plate and 94 pages of text. It included five papers, one on mammals, two on birds, and two on batrachians. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY, FISHES AND REPTILES. [Under the charge of Dr. J. B. HoLDE.] The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution having intimated to the Executive Committee of the Museum that he was at liberty to present to them a series of casts of reptiles -and fishes, I was directed to visit Washington for the purpose of negotiating for their preparation and transfer. This series embraces carefully 16 prepared casts of the food fishes of North America. The casts are taken from fresh examples, and have been colored by an expert, under the eye of a scientist. In most respects this method of exhibiting fishes and reptiles is superior to any. The list of fishes thus offered embraces the names of 88 species, and that of reptiles I4 species; the cost being, when ready for transportation, $727. This collection has been received, with the exception of four fishes, which are very large, and require more deliberate attention. All prove most excellent and important ac- quisitions to our cabinets. During the year the collections of specimens in alcohol have received special attention. The fishes and reptiles have been carefully examined with reference to classification and nomenclature in accordance with present accepted forms. This work has been completed, and permanent record made of the same. Printed labels are being prepared for these collections, and the specimens, both wet and mounted, will be presented for public exhibition. The catalogue of fishes, as now completed, embraces the names of 221 species of mounted specimens, and 194 in alcohol. The 88 species of Casts of fishes, being representatives of North American food fishes, added, makes a total of 403 species. Besides this summary the department has received large donations during the year, which will be examined and classified in due time. Additional to this we have lately arranged to receive from the U. S. Fish Commission, from time to time, examples of all the fishes of this continent, both marine and fresh water. As this implies large numbers, the specimens will be sent at intervals, in certain groups, to enable a prompt and proper arrangement for exhibition. At present, in the Department of Reptiles and Batrachians, there are permanently recorded: reptiles, 349 species; of batrachians, 72 species. Besides, numerous specimens of both groups have been received during the year as gift, and by purchase. In the Department of Invertebrate ZoOlogy much valuable material has been added. Through the Smithsonian Institution, two cases containing invertebrates have been received. These consist of a share of the valuable results of the deep-sea dredgings by the U. S. S. "Albatross," under the management of the Fish Commission. The collections largely embrace obje.cts new to science, ranging from mollusca, crustaceans, through the several lowest branches of the animal kingdom-all of intense interest and value to students of invertebrate zoology, as well as highly curious to the passing visitor. Among the more valuable gifts received during the year are seven glass-covered preparations of crustaceans, including promi- 17 nent typical forms, for purposes of study. These are separated in their several numerous parts to show the articulated structure. The Museum is indebted for this gift to Messrs. F. B. Thurber, of New York, and Thomas Higgins, of Liverpool. In view of lack of space in the halls for the suitable exhibition of specimens of the several departments, the collections in alcohol have been arranged and exhibited in the Curator's rooms. During the past year many students and others have had the privilege of visiting the rooms, and it will continue to be a pleasure to the Curator to extend all possible assistance to any desiring to gain acquaintance with the collections.

ENTOMOLOGY. This department has, since July Ist, i886, for its preservation and extension, been under the care of Mr. E. B. Southwick. The work of classification, determining, and placing on exhibition, has been for the past six months continued to the best advantage of the collection now in possession of the Museum. The collection on the first of July, i886, numbered about twenty-two thousand (22,000) specimens, to which were added by Mr. Southwick five thousand six hundred (5,600). specimens, collected in and about New York City and State, and New Jersey. Seven hundred and fifty (750) specimens were presented to the collection, making the addition for the half year six thousand three hundred and fifty (6,350) specimens, making the total number now in possession of the Museum twenty-eight thousand three hundred and fifty (28,350) specimens. As a large number are duplicates, these will be utilized for exchanges, and to supply with fresh specimens the exhibition collection. The collection of insects now in possession of the Museum embraces many valuable specimens, as types from Osten Sacken, and are invaluable in the determination of many difficult species. The arrangement of the orders in the Museum has been accord- ing to A. S. Packard, Jr., and in the Hymenoptera, a portion of the Lepidoptera and Diptera,- and nearly all the Coleoptera, the insects are classified, named, and on exhibition. The present need of the department is to complete the collection of North American insects, and collect and exhibit, as far as is possible, the insects of the Central Park, their manner of living and destructive working, their variations in size and color, all of which will add to the intelligent study, as to the destruction of enemies and preservation of -friends. As a large number of insects feed upon trees, shrubs and plants, a collection of these food-plants, together with the life history of each insect would not only be of great value to science, but would 18 give the general public an idea of the ravages of " noxious insects," and'as to the best means for their destruction, and the preservation of valuable plants. It is proposed that during the coming year the work of collecting, mounting and exhibiting, shall be carried out as com- pletely as is possible, to show the life history of our local insects, and no opportunity will be lost that will further such an end. In addition to the exhibition collection, one for study and com- parison will be arranged in cabinets, from which duplicates can be obtained to replace faded and broken specimens in the exhibition class. As far as is possible, insects of this locality will be collected and used for exchanges. There seems to be no reason why this collection cannot be made one of the finest in the world, and no more important center for its study and exhibition can be found than in New York City. Many of the finest collections of North American insects have been purchased by the European museums, and while they at present lead us in this department, there seems to be no reason why this Museum should not soon step in the first ranks and lead the world. When it is known and established that the collection is being cared for, and an interest -shown in its extension, the public will have more confidence in its management, and many collections now in obscurity will be presented to it as the best means for their preservation and exhibition, and as a lasting monument to many an earnest man's industry.

LIBRARY.

[Under the charge of Mr. A. WOODWARD.] The additions to the Library this year, through various means, have exceeded any previous year. The books and pamphlets received have amounted to: volumes, 1,559; Nos. and parts, 5I6; pamphlets, 1,T49. By Application (Librarian).... i9i Vols. I97 Nos. and Parts. 57 Pamphlets.

Since the middle of May to date, the number of visitors, who came to consult books, 395. The Curators have had in use, in their rooms, about i,000 volumes. One thousand volumes have been bound, through means gener- ously provided by Mrs. Robert L. Stuart, Miss Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, and the Trustees. There are still, however, a large number that require to be bound before they can be made available for use. Bulletin No. 7, issued July, ii886 ; of these and the other Bulletins, during the year i886, from January ist to December 31st, 602 copies were distributed; 475 were distributed in the United States and Canada; the remainder 127 were sent as exchanges to scientific and literary institutions and individuals in Europe, India and Australia. The Library of the New York Academy of Sciences, was removed during the month of September, the room being far preferable for the accommodation of books, our library was moved to the room it now occupies, displaying it to better advantage.
